We’re holding a meet-the-buyer day at our headquarters in Brasted on Thursday 23 February. Details of the participating buyers will be announced shortly.
29 February – Friday 2 March Global Pet Expo 2012, Orlando
Global Pet Expo is the largest North American trade show for the pet care sector. Last year’s show had 835 exhibitors and featured more than 3,000 new product launches. A total of 4,691 pet equipment buyers attended from around the world including independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers and other qualified professionals.
Organised by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA), Global Pet Expo 2012 will present the latest, most innovative pet care products on the market today. More than 800 companies from across the world – including 150 first-time exhibitors - will showcase products for all types of pet including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals and horses. With 62 per cent of American households owning at least one pet, this is your opportunity to break into a market valued at $50 billion.

With the introduction of an additional hall in 2012, Interzoo continues to consolidate its position as the world’s leading trade fair for the pet care industry. At the last edition of Interzoo in 2010, about 1,500 exhibitors (95 of whom were from the UK) displayed pet food, grooming aids, accessories and services to more than 38,000 trade visitors from 115 countries. Almost 24,000 of those visitors came from outside Germany.
PetQuip is offering a comprehensive stand package at Interzoo 2012, designed so that exhibitors can just turn up and display their products. The package includes floor space, walls, carpet, lighting, fascia panel, table, chairs, counter, electricity and daily stand cleaning. Firms can choose to exhibit in the British pavilion in a prime location at the front of Hall 9 or in other areas of the show if they prefer and still benefit from our full support.
Based on an exchange rate of £1:€1.12, the cost of the stand package is about £248 per square metre, plus a mandatory charge made by the organisers for the Communications Package of £430 and the PetQuip management fee (£415+VAT for members of PetQuip; £595+VAT for non-members).
PetQuip has secured grant support of £1,000 for eligible British firms under UK Trade & Investment’s Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP). However, numbers are limited so would-be exhibitors should apply now to avoid disappointment
